Has this ever happened to anyone?
Loki Power | 3:53 PM on 05.27.2008 13 comments


Recently on one of my many excursions to gamestop I saw Super Mario Superstar saga
staring back at me and decided to pick it up. I got resonably far in the game. I leveled up
Luigi and Mario greatly so that they could defeat many a foe.

Then I turned it on today...no save files. It just disappeared! Poof! Gone! I'm pretty sure that
no one else deleted my save files. I heard that it might be the internal batterie. (Its a used
copy) Anyway I'm pissed! Has this happened to anyone else? Please provide some solace.


P.S. Is it just me or is Penny-Arcade getting a lot funnier?

sounds like the card's EEPROM has come loose,

My LoZ: A Link to the Past cart won't retain my save files either. :(

I have always found Penny Arcade hilarious, so I'm not one to really understand how people didn't always find them humorous. Sorry.
Knives's Destructoid Blog
Yes, many times and it sucks :(.

PS: I agree with B-Radicate :P

That PA comic had me howling with laughter this morning

Happens the odd time. It really is a bitch. Particularly when you have been really working hard at a game.

Also Penny Arcade has always been a hoot.

Penny Arcade Fan Boy reporting in sir.

Yeah, it's the internal battery going out. It's happened to my Pokemon Gold, which I had about 500 hours clocked, and one of my fake 100-in-one GBC cartridges.

It's surprising to see a GBA game go like this though.

Penny Arcade usually makes me laugh, although sometimes I have to check the news post to understand what the hell they're talking about.
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
Yes. My 360 did this to me once. Luckily I was had completed almost all of the games whose saves got erased but it still sucked.
SaintHonore's Destructoid Blog
I had this happen with a copy of castlevania dawn of sorrow. Said that it was corrupt, then the save that was on the cart when I got it died too.

PA: hilarious.
Lost saves: NOT HILARIOUS. But it's definitely happened to me, too.
